Pea Beeswax (Pease) Crayons (12 Colours)
By
Mideer
A set of uniquely shaped beeswax crayons designed to support early mark-making through comfortable grip and gentle sensory feedback. The rounded, palm-friendly shape encourages children to explore drawing using their whole hand, making mark-making more accessible for early writers. The smooth texture and rich colour payoff support focused, enjoyable creative play without requiring refined pencil grip.
Helpful when:
Children are exploring drawing and mark-making before developing a traditional pencil grip.
This is a Roost Approved recommendation.

How to use at home
- Offer one or two crayons at a time to reduce overwhelm.
- Allow your child to explore marks freely without direction.
- Talk about colours, movements, or marks as they appear.
Why this is Roost approved
Early mark-making is an important foundation for communication and self-expression. These crayons support ECI by allowing children to participate in drawing and creative play without relying on precise hand control. The shape encourages repetition and exploration, helping children build confidence through movement and experimentation rather than outcome.
